After almost a month’s absence, Connor Bedard appeared in the Chicago lineup, but he did not help his team win against the Capitals. Utah then managed to beat St. Louis.
Chicago went on a four-game winning streak, but couldn’t add a fifth. Although the Blackhawks returned to the lineup Connor Bedard, Washington gave a very good performance and deservedly walked away to gain two points. Slovak defender Martin Fehérváry scored two assists in this duel.
Utah will be fighting hard for a wild card playoff spot in the Western Conference, so every point scored now counts. The Mammoths were against St. Louis with a better team and thanks to the great performance of Karel Vejmelka, they won 4:2.
Winnipeg, who defeated Los Angeles unequivocally 5-1 at home, ended the terrible series of eleven defeats in a row at night. Will the Jets kick to better results?
